As you know the team is on vacation until September and I am having a Guest design call, if you are interested please send me an e-mail, my contact info is at the top left.

I hope you are all enjoying the summer. It actually feels like fall here and it is not even August. August is my favorite month of the year, both my hubs and I will celebrate our birthdays within the next couple of weeks, lots of nieces and nephews share this birthday month and even Daisy a dog friend shares the same day. My best friend and I were born 4 days apart and we have know each other and stayed best friends our whole lives. A big plus!!! the weather is usually pretty nice and we take mini vacations or staycations. So I thought it was only fitting to have a birthday challenge.

Does that sound good to you? What is your favorite month and why?

Anyway onto my project.

I love getting artsy and adding my own doodles to stamps it seems to make them more mine. I have to confess I am very late getting this birthday card out, but it is in the mail tomorrow. So I hope the recipient is surprised. I keep trying to get ahead, but the creativity takes over and I just want to create, but I know reality is sinking in and I need to get clearing things out. The process is a bit slow, but it is moving along. I am seeing some light at the end of the tunnel as long as nothing new creeps up.

The challenge will run from July 26 9:00 am PST until
August 8, 2017 11:55 pm

Hi Everyone,

Summer I love it!!! Wow this past week I saw 6 birds soaring over the yard they had huge wing spans at first I thought they were California condors, but after looking them up online I think they were turkey vultures. They had huge wing spans and at first I just saw one and then more appeared, until I counted six, what a sight to behold they were so majestic. I hope I see them again. Anyway it is winner time here.

For the last three weeks I have had technical difficulty with my blog posts, I think I may have gotten the bugs worked out tonight.

Anyway onto my project.

I bought a lot of this unicorn paper, I just love it and I am going to be sad to see it go, it should be around until the end of August if all goes well. I think I may even buy some more I like it that much. Is that bad of me?

I used the garden gild die. My inking looked really bad so I squirted it with water and dried it then decided to use the cover design otherwise I would have put the love lower, but the drop shadow worked pretty well. Overall I like, but I could improve on it, I may do that later in the week. Inspiration from Ashley Cannon Newell. I hope you like my project
